Planning and rationale

No-engagement rationaleNot published
Procedure rationaleVNS Therapy is delivered through an implanted device that sends mild pulses to the vagus nerve at regular intervals throughout the day in an effort to reduce and/or prevent seizures. Patients are referred to this type of therapy when drugs have failed to provide a more manageable treatment. These devices are programmeable for a personalised therapy approach and the technology is highly specialised. Livanova are the only company that manufacture and supply this device and as such, the Health Board is applying a 10 day standstill period prior to awarding this contract.
